The Boston Bruins fell 5-4 to the LA Kings in overtime this afternoon as they couldn’t close out the game, allowing a late third-period goal on the penalty kill which forced extra minutes and the Kings’ eventual win.
“You’ve got to close out a game,” Montgomery said. “You’re up twice in the third period. We don’t close it out. And in the overtime, our power play has to put it away.”
The Bruins have now dropped four in a row.
Despite two goals from James van Riemsdyk — and a power-play goal — the Bruins lacked game management at the end.
